COrpulency.

Professor Kisch has recently collected
statistics of the frequency of sudden
death among extremely stout persons In
nineteen cases of this occurrence, acute
congestion of the lungs was discovered in
twelve, cerebral hemorrhagc in six, and
rupture of the heart in one. The apo
plectic symptoms were traced, in most of
the cases, to arterial sclerosis, very fire.
quent concomitant of extreme corpulency.
Rupture of the heart is due to the over
working of the walls of the left vcntricle,
which, being involved in the fatty intil-
tration and degeneration, can no longer
increase in size in proportion to the extra
work it has to perform.
The failure of heart-power appears al
ways to be the immediate cause of death,
which generally follows Immediately after
violent exertion, or excess in drink OF
diet

enough water over it, set it in covered

the superfuous moisture has evaporated
and the bread is really steaming. This
should be an occasional dish only, as no
one likes it many times in succession.
Slices of stale bread may be dipped in

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Handling Young Bulls.

A writer in one of our foreign ex-
changes gives the following as his ex-
perience in handling young bulls to pre-
vent them becoming cross and unman-
ageable: '1t is most excellent idea to
accustom the yearling to recognize that
he is not free. 1t prevents those rough
gambols in the box when the attendant
enters, which, nine times out of ten, are
the cause of man and beast both losing
their tempers. AS rule, we have found
the bulls best under control where the
attendant has been small-almost a
feeble man. Men of that type do not
often provoke a struggle for mastery, even
with calf; and it is with calves-in
the hobbledehoy stage-that the founda-
ton of viciousness is generally laid. The
calf is roughly suppressed when he only
meant play, and in consequence he bears
malice or feels fear. But calf which
has never been at liberty to romp never
expects to be able to do so, and one
great cause of contention is absolutely
prevented"

Rats rs Wheat Carriers.

A farmer who lives at st. Liberty,
Washington County, ILL.,, owns an old
unused smoke-house, which he entered
the other day for the first time in six
months, and, to his great establishment,
in one corner lay fifteen bushels of wheat.
An investigation developed the fact that
rats had carried it there from the house OF
a neighbor, who had lost like amount
of the same cereal.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Fully matured, good-sized hens, over
year old, lay the largest egg.
We do not believe that it is a mistake
in any direction to advise farmers to
grow more fruit.
There are many ways of keeping good,

to keep them dry.
Cleanliness in food and water is in
dispensable to the health of swine. A

Her name was Lloyd; it was not Jones;
But Jones was put to rhyme with stones.

five words went on one line, leaving room
for two more letters. "Crown" could
not be divided, but there was another re-

Cure for Foot Rot in Sheep.

cure 1Or root SOC In Sneep.
AS soon as any lameness appears the
foot or feet should be examined and the
toes and bottom edges of the crust care
fully but thoroughly pared with sharp
knife. If the disease has made much
progress, it will be found suppuration has
taken place and that pus has been formed
between the crust and the interior of the
foot, breaking out in the cleft where the
crust is thin OF at the top of the crust by
the hair; then more thorough treatment
is required. The sheep should at once
be separated from the flock and placed
where it can receive frequent attention.
The crust of the foot should now be cut
away unhesitatingly, so as to fully expose
the diseased parts. These should be
treated with finely powdered blue vitriol
or muriatic acid applied by convenient
swab. If assesses have formed and
fistulous openings extend into the foot,
these should be cleaned with probe and
strong carbolic soap and warm water and
then thoroughly treated with a caustic
that will burn away the diseased parts,
leaving healthy sore, one that will
readily heal, on the principal that zone
fire puts out another burning"
A correspondent of the Country Gen.
aenaan recommends this recipe:
Turpentine ..................2o ounces.
Sulphuric acid. 4 drains.
Ohve oil. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 81 ounce.
Thoroughly mixed. The foot should
be cleaned and the application made
every second day. Two or three applica-
tions will usually be sufficient. If the
disease does not readily yield to this
treatment it will be we'll to poultice the
foot with q carrot or other similar poul-
tice once a day for couple of days, the
treatment being continued.
When the disease has continued for
some time fungus growths will form
where the sole or crust is lost. These
must be removed with a hot iron, as no
other application will effectually dispose
of them.

Dairy Answers.

s'Is there any use in stirring cream
while it is ripening3" Yes. The ripen-
ing consists, not in souring, as is gener-
ally supposed, but in airing, so that it
may become oxidized by having the oxy-
gen of the air strike through it. Hence
the more stirring while ripening the bet
ter. The process of ripening by which
high favor and long keeping are pro-
noted, goes on better when cream is
warm than when it is cold, and better
when it is sweet than when it is sour.
Hence it iSdesirable to keep it sweet as
long as we can, and while it remains
sweet and warm to give it all the airing
we can. When cream begins to sour it
begins to deteriorate, and hence when
souring is apparent the sooner it is
churned the better.
"Will cream by standing in vat un-
covered absorb odors from the work
room2" It will, unless the air is ten de-
grees or so colder than the cream, and if
tia cream is colder than the air the ab-
sorption will be very rapid and if long
exposed will seriously injure the butter
yor long keeping, and to some extent its
favor.
'Is there any way to test the purity of
water for washing butter?" A test which
will generally be sufficient may be made
by dissolving little graduated sugar in
the water to be tested and then filing a
vial with the swcetened water and setting
it where it will not be lower than sixty or
seventy degrees. If the water is impure it
will become turbid in few days. Hgood
1t will remain clear.
ssWould ice-water be about the right
temperature for washing butter2" There
is no necessity for having it so cold.
Forty-fve to fifty would be preferable

A FALSE RUMOR.

1t was reported around the streets
on Saturday last that certain in
dividual had purchase a lot of Is or
20 tickets for the evenings show, at
the Opera House, and was retailing
them at an advance of 80 per cent
on the original cost. The matter
was reported to this office by two
or three different persons. With
the view of verifying the truth of
the matter, in order to expose the
little trick, a representative of this
paper went to the ticket office,
where the sale of every ticket is
duly recorded, and made inquiries,
and was surprised to find the rumor
was false. The individual had pur-
chased tickets and reserved seats
for several other persons, by re-
quest, and those persons received
their tickets in due time. Only
two of the total number were for
the person applying at the office.
These are the facts in the case,
which anyone can verify for him
self; and yet some people will per-
sist in asserting that the rumor was
correct, and accuse the BULLETIN of
being afraid to publish the matter.
This latter, also, is false charge.
The BULLETIN is not afraid to ex-
pose any proceeding of the kind,
provided it exists. But We are
desirous of being just, fair and
truthful, not knowingly giving pub
iicity to false statement respect
ing anyone. We satisfied ourselves
that the rumor was false, and there
fore declined to publish it as truth.
Had the result of our inquiry been
different, it certainly would have
been dealt with in these columns on
Saturday.

AT HIS DESK ALL NIGHT.
THE PRESIDENT HARD AT WORK SIGN
ING VARIOUS MEASURES.

The White House presented
scene of unusual activity last night.
Light streamed from every window
in the official wing of the building,
while inside every one, from the
President down to the clerks and
messengers, was hard at work all
through the night and until the
grey light of the morning dimmed
the gas lights over their desks. In
the telegraph room the click of the
instruments kept the President con-
stantly informed as to the state of
business at the Capitol, and at
short intervals the messengers of
the two Houses rode up to the door
with the bills which only few
moments before had been passed by
Congress, and only awaited the sig
nature of the President to become
law.
The different members of the
Cabinet were at the White House at
intervals throughout the night.
Early in the evening the Attorney
General, the Postmaster General
and the Secretary of the Interior
were with the President. Later the
Secretary of State and the Secre-
tary of War arrived. The Secre-
tary Of War left short time before
midnight, and just as his carriage
rolled away that of the Secretary of
the Navy drove up.
The President passed the night at
his desk in the library examining
and signing bills and consulting
with the members of his Cabinet as
to the measures that affected their
respective Departments.
AS q consequence of the work
done by the President last night, it
will be unnecessary for him to go to
the Capitol to-day to sign bills. He
advised the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House of
his decision in this respect early
last evening, and added that the
Executive office would remain open
all night, and up to the very hour
of adjournment ut noon to-day, for
the reception of all matters requir-
ing Executive action.
The Capitol also presented an
animated appearance last night.
Thousands of people had gathered
from all parts of the city to witness
the closing scenes in the life of the
Forty-ninth Congress. Before the
two Houses reassembled after the
recess the galIaries were packed
and throngs of people-including
many ladies-wandered through the
corridors from one wing of the build
ing to another, in the hope of find
ing entrance to the Legislative halls.
In both Senate and House the tenn
perature was almost torrid and the
air very bad, but the vast crowd
that filled every seat and even the
passage-ways in the galleries held
its place. 1t was an orderly gather
ing on the whole, and maintained
decorous quiet except when bright
sally on the floors, or the discom-
titure of some member, anxious to
catch the elusive eye of the
"Chair," convulsed it in burst of
applause or merriment. AS fast as
the spectators relinquished their
seats they were filed from the hun
dreds in waiting at the doors, and
it was very late at night before
there was any apprcciable thinning
out Of the crowd Washington
